ketidakadilan melalui tiga pendekatan strategis: rekognisi (pengakuan),
redistribusi (akses

pengambilan keputusan)
This study examines the struggles of transwoman groups in Yogyakarta in responding to injustice through three strategic approaches: recognition, redistribution (access to resources), and representation (participation in decision-making). The main focus of this study is to understand how transwoman groups fight for their rights as citizens amidst the structural, cultural, and direct violence they face in their daily lives. Using descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through in-depth interviews with key informants from five transwoman communities in Yogyakarta (Yayasan Kebaya, WCC, Iwayo, Seruni, and Pondok Pesantren Waria Al-Fatah). The findings indicate that the strategies employed by transwoman groups are complex and multidimensional. These include efforts to gain recognition of their identity, advocate for fair access to livelihoods, and promote representation in decision-making. Despite being known as a special region and a cultural city, Yogyakarta is still far from fully inclusive, transwoman here still face various structural and cultural barriers. Overall, this study highlights the dynamic struggles of transwoman groups’ struggles, which lie between adapting to the existing system (affirmative) and fundamental efforts to transform it (transformative) to achieve of positive peace in Yogyakarta. This thesis emphasizes the importance of integrating both approaches to advocate more comprehensive justice.
